in a magazine back then, i read a full story as told by Sarika herself - her own story, with him of course a big chapter in her life. In that she had said that Vani's behaviour towards him/them, was what pushed them further together, coz she publicly insulted him, etc. To me at that time, it was a great love story, and i think it did last long enough, but then dreams met reality. It was not Vani, I guess. It was him all along.

Did he ever try to justify his actions?

i don't know if he did. I don't think he needs to. He has showcased without a doubt that he's had a wandering eye, and that's about it. Nothing criminal (atleast in India), just frowned upon by many in the society. And at this point, if a woman thinks she can snare him in a committed long lasting relationship, she needs counseling probably, his age notwithstanding. What I was saying above was that Vani behaved the way she did, but even if she was cool doesn't mean he would have left Sarika.

hahaha... i recall when someone, an indian, saying similar stuff among a local group of people , mostly quite young, less than 30. He was narrating and reviewing a movie he liked in which nastassja kinski plays a cameo role. he presented that as nastassja kinski comes only for 20 minutes. All these folks around started snickering, smirking, and laughing and exclaimed to each other saying "did you hear that? nastassja kinski comes for 20 minutes, eh!" with much and strong intonation and stress on saying 20, like drawling it quite a bit. I knew what these guys were talking about- I had already learnt that it's all cultural; if you didn't understand something, it's got to do with $ex.

reminds me of one of those padre jokes... a padre was making love in the middle of the train tracks. The engine driver saw it in time and stopped the train. Angrily, he asked, 'couldn't you see i was coming'. Padre replied, 'couldn't you see i was coming too?'

or something like that. I was probably in my mid-late teens when i read that joke, and that's when i first understood what coming means in slang.

personal opinion - 20 minutes would be painful.

well..to be precise, however long it may be, it's always a violent and painful indulgence - that's what an innocent, uninitiated, naive observer, watching the act, would say, don't you think? But don't ask me why p0rn traffic is max and over 70% of internet time.

I read it though...appreciate the honesty. stunning and speechless....hearing it from the mare itself, as they say!- only a few direct listens such as this I have had so far... On my earlier comments - those were clinical, and academic; comments from a pedant, i should add.
